About Us

At Continental Yachts Limited we know this lifestyle and want to share it with you. With over 40 years of experience, each of our agents has owned a yacht or currently owns a yacht. Our broker Pat O’Day has personally owned and operated more than a dozen yachts, from small sailboats to a 116' Feadship, and is familiar with all aspects of yacht ownership.

Mike Broemer has been with CYL for 8 years. He grew up with boats in his home states of Minnesota and Michigan. After 12 years in LA and NY as a professional photographer he was hired on at Continental to do video and virtual tour ads. In 2004, Mike obtained his license as a Yacht Salesman and immediately distinguished himself as the Top Salesperson.

Bruno Schwarz has been a licensed salesman at CYL for 14 years and has owned in excess of 20 boats personally, but his primary passion for many years now is his Catamaran charter AOLANI, the most unique 49 guest Coast Guard certified sailing Catamaran in Southern California.

Our knowledge and boating experience will help you in marketing your boat and/or buying a new one. Our staff is licensed in California, the only state that requires a license, and we do business internationally thanks largely to our virtual tour package for all CYL listings.

We advertise in all the West Coast boating magazines, as well as on Yacht World and Yacht Council, the premier boating web search engines. We participate in monthly Broker Meetings where we promote our listings. We exchange information with all the Brokers in Southern California, and do aggressive e-mail marketing for all of our listings.

Continental Yachts provides interior virtual tours and underway 360 degree exterior videos of our listings, to be displayed on yachtworld; a priceless perk these days in an increaslingly internet driven international market.

Continental Yachts participates in major business and sporting events which many business owners and major boat buyers attend.
